This paper deals with the synthesis of functional polymers of controlled chain dimensions and architecture from poly(chloroalky1 vinyl ether)s. The living polymerization of chloroalkyl vinyl ethers initiated by HX/ZnX 2 systems, and the chemical substitution of the pendant chlorines by various organic functions and groups, in order to generate specific polymer properties are first discussed. Also based on the living character of the polymerizations, the preparation of poly(chloroethyl vinyl ether) with monomacrocyclic and plurimacrocyclic architectures as well as their characterization are then reported. Some evidence for specific host–guest interactions between large organic molecules and polymacrocycles is also presented.
